In a small bowl, beat the eggs together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced ham to the skillet, and sautΓ© for 2 minutes until it's slightly browned.
Add the diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and yellow onion to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Pour the egg mixture over the sautΓ©ed ham and vegetables, making sure to cover them evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs.
Let the omelet cook without stirring for about 3 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet to allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath. Continue cooking until the omelet is almost set but still slightly runny on top, about 2 more minutes.
Carefully fold the omelet in half, then slide it onto a plate.
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
